Marwencol (2012)

"On April 8, 2000, Mark Hogancamp was attacked outside a bar in Kingston, New York, by five men who beat him literally to death. Revived by paramedics, Mark had suffered brain damage and physical injuries so severe even his own mother didn't recognize him. After nine days in a coma and 40 days in the hospital, Mark was discharged with little memory of his previous life." -- PBS

Storyboarding Your Ideas

When you're first starting out using a DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) or SLR camera, there are a lot of buttons to figure out. Especially in the digital versions. You should focus first and foremost on capturing nice compositions and worry less about the exposure. Tackle one thing at a time.

The "M" stands for Manual Mode, which is selected with the dial on the top of the camera.

1/60 represents the shutter speed. 1/60 is a good setting to start with because it will minimize shake.

f5.6 is the aperture setting, which most of the stock camera lenses only open up this wide. This is fine.

"ISO Auto" at the top right means that the camera will select an ISO depending on how bright or dark your location is. This is limiting if you go some place REALLY dark or REALLY bright. Auto has limitations.

"AWB" just down below to the left means Auto White Balance. The camera will sample the light around and will chose what temperature to set the camera to. Auto mode is fine for this as you get started as well as when you're advanced and on-the-go.

SETV News Sample Script

When you're working in a space, you need to know where things are. These are some sample layouts for small television stations with studios and control rooms.

The above outlines are simple, including room locations in a building with basic placement of a few pieces of equipment.

This is a much more detailed drawing of a television studio (above). This actually showcases where the anchor desk and chairs are, where the cameras are in relation, and where the light fixtures are hanging (a few at least). This is about right for level of detail and overhead layout.

Finally, this is a crazy cool 3D drawing of a television studio with placement of anchors, cameras, lights, and the control room staff. This is above the top not necessary for our purposes. This drawing actually makes it a little hard to see what is where because there is too much detail.
